<p>You would want to think about any school with a very high tuition rate that doesn’t have a lot of financial aid. Those schools are more likely to have a higher rate of people from wealthy families. Yes, the Ivy Leagues have great financial aid, but I know here at Columbia about 50% of our students are full pay (which means someone with about a $150-180K income or higher, since that’s about when you stop getting financial aid here) so you would still be surrounded by wealthy families. Places like Harvard, Yale, and Princeton probably have similar numbers of wealthy families, even though they have good financial aid packages, because the prerequisites to getting admitted (extracurriculars, high SAT scores) also cost money as well. Also consider top liberal arts colleges like Amherst, Williams, and Swarthmore - low-income kids are less likely to have heard of them, so I bet they’re populated by lots of wealthy kids.</p>
<p>Also, I wouldn’t assume that those disparaging you (or just leaving negative comments) are only motivated by jealousy. Perhaps some, but you did kind of come off a bit…standoffish in your follow-up posts (for example, thinking that jealousy about your hereditary wealth is some kind of "obstacle).</p>
